A Maryland candidate for governor, Richard "Rich" Madaleno, had a special message for President Donald Trump in a new campaign ad. So having it reportedly air June 7 on Fox and Friends, one of Trump’s favorite shows, was strategic. Madaleno apparently wanted to make sure the president would see the 30-second ad, which was “sealed with a kiss” that made history.

The ad begins by highlighting Madaleno’s political achievements, all of which are framed as direct attacks on the policies and positions of the Trump administration — or as Madaleno says, “Here are a few of the things that I’ve done that already infuriate him.” He fought for Planned Parenthood funding, according to The Washington Post; he’s working to ban assault weapons, according to The Capital Gazette; and, as he says in his ad, he supports public schools (shoutout to Betsy DeVos).

The ad concludes with Madaleno asking, “What’s the number-one way I piss off Trump and the Republicans?” He then turns to his husband, Mark Madaleno, kisses him, and then turns back to the camera to say, “Take that, Trump.”

A week into Pride Month, Madaleno became the first gay candidate to kiss their same-sex spouse in a political campaign ad, according to the LGBTQ Victory Fund. However, this isn’t Madaleno’s first time making LGBTQ+ history. The Hill reported that Madaleno, who was elected in 2006, was Maryland’s first openly gay member of the Maryland state legislature, and he fought to legalize same-sex marriage. According to numbers from The Washington Post and the University of Maryland, he’s currently polling in fourth place in the Democratic primary, but if he wins this election, he’ll also be the state’s first openly gay governor.

"June is LGBT Pride Month and I couldn't think of a better time to release this ad. I am proud of my family, proud of my record of standing up for our progressive values and proud to be unflinching in standing up against hate. Love truly does trump hate," Madaleno said in a statement.

In another statement, former Houston mayor Annise Parker, president & CEO of the LGBTQ Victory Fund said, “At a time when the White House and other anti-LGBTQ politicians are attempting to erase our visibility and roll back our rights, Rich Madaleno is boldly stating he’s proud of his family and will fight for all Marylanders if elected. Not long ago, out LGBTQ people were unable to run for statewide offices such as governor, but voters now recognize there is an authenticity to LGBTQ leaders rarely found in today’s politicians.”
